Friends,
I made a new rear seat back, all three pieces, using the remainders of
the old one as templates. Fitting the stationary part I found a gap of
just over 3/4 inch between the bare metal inner rear wings and the
woodwork - the car body is much wider than the seat back. I do realize
the bare metal still has to be covered by the rear quarter panels but
have no idea about the thickness of these - I still have to buy these.
As the rear seat surrounds were renewed (and didn't fit, as usual with
new body parts) I wonder whether this 3/4 inch gap is normal, or that I
better make a new stationary seat back which is a bit wider. And if so,
what opening should I aim for?
Thanks, as usual,
